Position:Home>Philosophy> Which Philosophers do you not like?


Question:Philosophers ( or literary critics ) of the "deconstructionist" school seem to say that everything is subjective and due to individual bias and that there is no truth or anything that rational people can agree on. This, it seems to me, destroys the very basis of philosophy and is so much hogwash.

Philosophers of marxism also seem to have gotten the essence of humanity wrong, trying to impose on human nature their flawed preconceptions. Experience has shown that free market systems do better for people and are less likely to turn into dictatorship than socialism but this viewpoint is still not universal and people like Fidel Castro and Hugo Chavez still profess it.

pseudo-philosophers

Hegel. Marx. Heidegger.

Hegel is the source of, essentially, all that is evil in the modern world -- those evils that wear red as well as those that prefer brown. Hence my list only requires the three terms.
